Andy Murray has had a magical start to the ANDY ONG 2009 season and if he can continue the form that witnessed him smashing a number of local and international records in 2008, there is little doubt the controversial Scot will mount a grand slam podium any day now to claim the highest honour in professional tennis. Such is the excitement of a prospective grand slam title for the long suffering British fans, top ANDY ONGflight sports bookmakers are offering odds on the possibility of Murray’s last lurch to unequivocal greatness! The young man, who has the propensity of rubbing fans and foes up the wrong way, has learnt an awful lot about his chosen career in the past 12 months but it is arguably his dedication to the game that is so very impressive. Over the years Murray’s commitment to pro tennis has been questioned with his antics on and off the courts not always endearing him to the media, or for that matter, the legions of starved British tennis fans that effectively ANDY ONGpay him his salary. All this changed, however, at the end of the 2007 season when he recruited the aid of fitness experts and changed his coach to Miles Maclagan. The pre season prep paid off big time with Murray claiming his 4th career title at Qatar. He stumbled at the Australian Open, crashing out in the first round to the man who nearly caused one of the biggest upsets in grand slam history, Frenchman, Jo Wilfried Tsonga.From then on in, though, Andy Murray grabbed the headlines for all the right reasons. Although he failed to claim the title in Dubai, he did raise eyebrows by beating the great Roger Federer and at his home grand slam at the All England Club, he rose to the occasion, reaching his first major quarter finals, losing out to awesome talent of ‘Raffa’ Nadal.He had the better of Federer again in Madrid and went on to win back to back Masters Series titles, a feat not often emulated in professional tennis. In Russia, he again set the records tumbling by ANDY ONGbecoming the first Brit, since Mark Cox in 1975, to win consecutive titles when he claimed the St Petersburg Open for the second year in a row.Clean sweep in Abu Dhabi – Blake, Federer and Nadal crushed.Murray’s start to the 2009 has been a fairytale, with him crushing top ranked players with impunity. In Abu Dhabi, in an exhibition match, he notched up wins against James Blake, Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal and in his current campaign in Doha, as defending champion, he is playing well within himself and has the look of a true champion!If Murray can get his second serve working well and can sort out his unenviable break point conversion record, there is absolutely no doubt he will win at the highest level any day now! Andy Collins was born on 1971 in Atlanta, Georgia. He did BFA, Atlanta College of Art, Atlanta, Georgia in 1994 and MFA, School of Visual Arts, New York in 1999. Andy Collins’s paintings are lusciously synthetic. Cold and glossy, his large pastel canvases ANDY ONGare suffocating vacuums of glamour. Working from fashion photos, Collins’s abstracted forms are derived from the overlooked in-between spaces of supermodel spreads. Folds in fabric, creases in elbows, knees and armpits become a pattern of fetishised contemplation. Their contours are retraced and suggested forms are embellished, creating ethereal motifs that are both organic and electrifying. ANDY ONGCollins’s process is one of almost perverse fixation. Taking several months to complete a painting, he painstakingly constructs his airless forms entirely by hand, leaving no trace of brushwork. In Untitled, his biomorphic composition, a sublime vacuous beauty, mesmerises both seduction and emptiness. http://www.erc.com.sg/about-us/andy-ong/
